Adorable Baby Shower Gift Ideas

Spring and summer are popular times for weddings and baby showers but finding a gift can be tough. Do you get something on the registry? Do you opt for a gift card or write a check? What if you don’t know the mom-to-be all that well? To make things easier, we’ve put together some great baby shower gift ideas that are both thoughtful and practical (and affordable too).

The practical gift. Every mom-to-be can use things like diapers, baby wipes, sippy cups and toys. Browse the registry to get an idea of the types of products wanted and then shop around for the best price. Just because the expectant mother is registered at Baby’s R Us or Target, doesn’t mean you can’t buy the same things elsewhere – just make sure to tell someone if you purchase a big item like the crib mattress or stroller so they can take it off the registry. You can save on some of these everyday items when you shop Good Buys All the Time. We carry Seventh Generation diapers, Baby Magic baby wipes, and a variety of toys and sippy cups!

The cute gift. Every baby needs clothing but you don’t want to overwhelm the mom-to-be with countless packs of newborn size onesies, bibs or socks. Try finding some cute outfits or clothing in sizes 6-9 and 12 months so that mom has clothing for the baby to grow into. At Good Buys All the Time, we carry a variety of name brand clothing from brands like Carters for boys and girls. Here are some of our newly listed items we can’t get enough of.

 

Remember, it’s the thought that counts so don’t stress about the perfect gift. Babies go through multiple outfits per day so mom will be just as happy for the basic onesies as she is for the bows and frills. For more of our favorite baby outfits and gift ideas, be sure to follow us on Pinterest

 

Creative Holiday Gift Ideas That Won’t Break the Bank

Christmas will be here before we know it and buying gifts for everyone can be tough. What do you give the sister who has everything? And how do you make it through your holiday shopping list without breaking the bank?  Plus, there’s the office Christmas party and the kids need gifts for their teachers.  Oh, and don’t forget the neighbors or the paper boy!

The holidays can become overwhelming but they don’t have to be.  Start by making a list and think about when you’ll be near the stores you need to stop at so you don’t have to make a bunch of extra trips.  Next, prioritize your shopping list and figure out which gifts are most expensive and how you plan to pay for them.  Try to budget a few gifts per paycheck instead of waiting until the last minute.  Lastly, think before you shop.  You want to purchase gifts your friends and family will actually use!  Here are four creative gift ideas that are guaranteed to be a hit:

 

Even the sister who has everything can never have too many of her favorite chapsticks or hair ties! Put together a little gift bag of items she uses each day.  Bobby pins, body wash, a new loofa or body lotion are all inexpensive ideas!

Who doesn’t love to see a great movie? Movie tickets are a great gift for a family member you’re not sure how to buy for.  Regardless of hobbies and interests, everyone can enjoy a movie and if you buy a gift card you can add a little extra for snacks.

Need a great gift for dad or the grease monkey of the family? What about a free car wash? Create your own coupon and volunteer your services or stop by the local carwash and pick up a gift card for a wash and wax.  This is also a great gift for a holiday party or an office grab bag!

They say America runs on Dunkin, so don’t forget about the coffee lovers on your Christmas list!  If you’re not sure what to get for mom or you want to get an inexpensive gift for a teacher or friend, consider a gift card to their favorite coffee shop or a gift basket filled with their favorite blends! Fill the basket with some little extras like coffee filters or a new coffee mug.
